Will The Pre-Diwali Nifty Rally Rage On Amid Weak Global Cues? RIL Q2 in Focus | Opening Bell Live

Bulls held firm on Dalal Street for yet another session, pushing the Nifty 50 one percent higher on October 16 — its highest close since June. The rally was backed by strong technical and momentum indicators, reflecting a clear pre-Diwali celebration mood among investors. Experts believe the index could soon retest this year’s high of 25,669, and possibly march toward 26,000 — a crucial resistance level before the record peak. On the downside, 25,400–25,300 remains a key support zone. However, global cues this morning are subdued, with Wall Street ending lower amid concerns over regional banks’ lending practices. The GIFT Nifty too is trading in the red. Plenty of stock action ahead — Infosys, Wipro, and LTIMindtree will react to their quarterly earnings, while Reliance Industries is set to announce its Q2 report card today. Catch Nandita Khemka in conversation with Raja Venkatraman, Co-Founder of Neo Trader, on Opening Bell Live.
